Valuer: I've got a posh accent Owner: Mine is posher than yours Valuer: Gosh, so it is

[@pigeonlove]

Owner: but I still insist on a free valuation and I will cart my painting anywhere to get one.

[@alanrogs3990]

Is it an "accent" when it is original?

[@jgambe78]

​@@alanrogs3990if she's in Manchester yeah, But of course that goes for anywhere in the world where you have someone speaking something other than the regional norm

[@grahamhill9499]

Fuk aff how that for an accent

[@williamevans9426]

He's Henry Wyndham, former Chairman of Sotheby's Europe (true). She was HM Queen Elizabeth II's elocution teacher! 😃

I kept thinking that boy to the left that kept leaning around the painting was going to knock the painting off the stand. They really should keep the public back at least a few feet.

In 1991 £15000+ would have bought half a one bedroom flat/apartment in Edinburgh (close to centre) just for reference currently more than £150,000

[@pigeonlove]

Half a one bedroom flat? What's that!? Property prices have increased a lot but wages are much the same. £15,000 wasn't that much.

[@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb]

@@pigeonlove cost of a one bedroom flat in sw leith in 1994 was fixed price ( astounding really ) £30,000 -I know cos I bought one

[@geoffdundee]

@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb .....could buy a bedsit for 15k in Dundee around 1991........now selling for £65k...............PS. - My earnings a year in 91 were approx £15k a year.........and by 1998 were £25k a year and by 2005 i was on £90k a year ..........then economy went to shite around 2009 and hasnt recovered.....doubt it ever will.

Thank you for putting up the value and ruining the watching for everyone. 👏👏👏

@@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb well, I suppose our experiences of life are different. Good for you.

Question of whether it is an "unbelievable" amount: no. Still a substantial amount, yes.

[@kathleensue1]

Some of these short clips are 20 years old. I imagine the value of the pound has gone quite a bit over the years.

@@kathleensue1 closer to 30 years old but yes, the hyperbole is strong in these clickbait titles

this was more than 30 years ago, wonder what the painting is worth now.

The painting HERMAN VAN SWANEVELT| A landscape with figures among ancient ruins sold at auction this year for £15,000GBP

[@dallassukerkin6878]

He does seem to have quite a range of values on his works doesn't he? I see a couple of the 60-70k range but a lot more in the few thousands area. Probably out of fashion at the moment as that sort of pastoral/bucolic style was more sought after in the 70's

[@davidbieleski]

He had a new painting put at the end of his bed every day to look at, it was a different time

[@diggitus]

At 12:01 a.m. the servants hear the distant tinkle of a bell

[@DuckReach432]

Why do they caption 15K as "unbelievable value?" I'd expect the same price and headline at a Volkswagen dealership.

[@tinymotogarage]

1991 - 15K then is not 15K now!

[@onestepfromsuccess]

@@tinymotogarage ahh yes how silly of us to forget that this video was uploaded in 1991

[@erwalkerca]

@@onestepfromsuccess Sometimes it makes sense to read the description to be a little better informed.

[@williamevans9426]

The expert here is Henry Wyndham, former Chairman of Sotheby's Europe, who used to be something of a regular on the show.

[@prsanfrancisco1688]

I have no trouble believing that this is £15K

[@blackandgold676]

Lovely bit of sarc, there. Agreed.

[@stephenhumberstone7636]

Hardly a life changing amount 😂

[@metalmick]

Wow! 15k. Whoop dee doo!

[@will-i-am-not]

It could do with a professional cleaning

[@mr.miller5041]

'In excess of 15 thousand pounds. Or possibly more...' Erm...

[@joes9954]

Get that painting to Julian Baumgartner for restoration.

[@rickhale4348]

Actually I believe the landscape portrait was cheaply priced and would have expected it to be more valuable.

[@Gigi-14]

Especially if it was taken to a professional fine art restorer and cleaned. But this was probably 20 years ago by the way they are dressed, so the valuation would certainly be greater now. I love the Dutch painters and was once fortunate to view two original Bruegel paintings at a friend’s penthouse in Manhattan. 😊

[@swebruh]

@@Gigi-14 This was filmed in 1991, so 32 years ago.

[@rickhale4348]

@@Gigi-14 It was special and touching to see three generations. I have no appreciation for modern art. If you can't tell if it's upside down then it just a mess. LOL

[@mus139]

The painting is about 200 years old, I doubt another 32 years would up the Value?@@swebruh

[@2eleven48]

First recorded 1991 - thirty-two years ago! What relevance has this got to do with today's interest and market?

[@tinymotogarage]

Past market valuations have relevance to current ones - that's how the entire antique sector works. Also, this is not a "current valuation" channel - it's just interesting older content from AR.

[@Nashvillain10SE]

£15,000 is quite reasonable.

[@bondsons]

Misleading title

[@user-jd1wp5pq3q]

No it's not a misleading title. It is unbelievably worth much, much less than everyone thought.

[@maxanderson8259]

Nothing on British Antiques Roadshow is worth a thing. "Oh my! What a treasure! I'm glad I've lived long enough to appraise an item of this rarity and beauty! It's worth 20 quid."

[@mus139]

The tiles are very rare but only worth £100 each?

[@dallassukerkin6878]

Many ceramic objects are a lot less valuable than you might assume, even if they are centuries old. I used to be a ceramics curator and even I can't really explain it other than it perhaps being class based. Jewellery, furniture and paintings were the purview of the upper echelons of society and were more likely to have brand/celebrity attachments than ceramics which, no matter how fine, were much more common-place.

[@MrJayehawk]

When you say "unbelievable value", I'm thinking more like enough to instantly go home and quit your job.

[@williamevans9426]

Henry Wyndham: 'Unbelievable value for such a poorly-kept, genre painting'.

[@nh11nov]

Where are the parents of the little chuff next to the picture? Wouldn't call it unbelievable value even for 1991.

[@williamevans9426]

Wyndham: 'This really is a prime example of Dutch genre painting of the 17th century, with workmanlike brushstrokes by a pupil of that great Old Master, Quiche - the brother of Claude Lorrain. This figure just here is particuleh well-painted whereas the rendering of some other areas (like the cattle and the water) are clearly truly dreadful. It is, of course, not helped at all by its disgustingleh dirteh condition ...' Owner, with cut-glass accent: 'Cut the crep, son-eh - what's it worth? And don't try to short-change meh, do you hear? Eh, eh?''

Wrong! It has no value at all unless and until someone is willing to pay for it. THEN, we’ll know it’s value. These Roadshow hosts can put any figure on a piece they want. It makes for good TV. But, that doesn’t set a market value.

[@Paul-th3ul]

Not a good painting. It is not well composed and balanced. It is dull and far too much sky.
